About this journal

The *International Journal of Law and Global Policy* is dedicated to advancing scholarly understanding at the nexus of legal frameworks and global governance. It serves as a critical forum for original research that rigorously analyzes the intricate interplay between domestic, transnational, and international law, and the formulation, implementation, and impact of global policies across diverse societal contexts. The journal welcomes sophisticated theoretical and empirical contributions exploring a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to, international legal theory, comparative legal systems, human rights law, environmental law and policy, international trade and investment law, cybersecurity law, migration studies, conflict resolution, global health policy, corporate governance, and the legal dimensions of sustainable development. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary approaches that integrate legal analysis with insights from political science, economics, sociology, philosophy, and other social sciences and humanities. Submissions may address emerging legal challenges, policy innovations, institutional reforms, and the normative foundations of global order. We publish research articles, comprehensive review essays, and critical commentaries from established and emerging scholars. Our target audience comprises academics, legal practitioners, policymakers, and advanced students engaged in international law, public policy, global studies, and related fields. The journal is committed to fostering intellectual dialogue and disseminating high-quality scholarship that informs contemporary debates and shapes future trajectories in law and global policy.
